50. ADELE - Don't You Remember
49. Chris Brown - Beautiful People (featuring Benny Benassi)
48. JENNIFER HUDSON - GONE
I commend RihMark for sticking up for the album this song comes from, because it is has become pretty forgotten, but undeservedly so. This, right here, is the best song on the album, and a song that should've been a crossover hit. Her label is idiotic for releasing the singles they did over this one. This could've been Jennifer Hudson's Already Gone (& yes, it is produced by Polow Da Don). Imagine hearing this song on the radio at this time of year; it would be amazing.

47. DANCE FOR YOU
4 took me from a casual Bey fan (who didn't mind criticizing) to a huge one (who could find little to criticize). This is a bonus track that I honestly didn't listen to until about two months ago. When it hit me, IT HIT ME HARD. This slow jam is what makes Bey so perplexing - she is the definition of class, yet knows how to ummm... yeah. But in a subtle way. This song is a slow jam with amazing belts, groans and falsettos, showcasing her range at almost its fullest. More of 4 to come.
I was originally going to leave this out of the countdown, but decided I had to include it. I don't really like Tinie's music, but this (and Pass Out) is the exception. Although, it's not really him that makes the track so hypnotic - it's the production & Ellie Goulding. Ellie's voice is so vulnerable, it's hard not to relate. Why is it that all of my favorite songs happen to songs that should've been Top 5 singles but weren't even given the chance? Why was Tinie off releasing some song with Wiz Khalifa while this was lying around on his album?
46. Dev - In the Dark
I originally hated this song. I originally hated Dev. It's amazing how much can change into 4-5 months. Not only do I find myself dancing to this song quite frequently, but I also find myself loving Dev, and anticipating her mythical debut album. I love songs with dark essences to them, and that is exactly what this song has - it begs to be played in a night scene, with dimly-lit candles maybe. Will Naked smash harder than In the Dark? Hopefully. It's a shame this song sold so poorly considering the airplay & didn't make the Top 10.
